Naruto Law of the Devil

Chapter 20: Monstrous Display

"Although I didn't see clearly what just happened..."

"But Yugao, this kid seems to be quite strong."

Watching Yu, who had just landed on the ground nearby, effortlessly defeat the formidable Kotetsu by just a glance, Mitarashi Anko couldn't help but be astonished.

At that moment, Mitarashi Yugao's eyes sparkled with an unusual light, as if he had just spotted a fascinating new toy.

"It seems like the two of us were unnecessary today, Anko-senpai..."

Leaning back against Mitarashi Anko, Yugao looked at Yu, who had just landed elegantly.

While Mitarashi Anko's clear and beautiful eyes revealed a faint glimmer of admiration, she couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Watch out behind you!!"

But in the next second, it seemed like she had sensed something.

Yugao's expression suddenly changed, and she urgently shouted a warning to Yu, who was right in front of her.

"Don't get too cocky, kid."

However, as soon as Yugao's voice reached Yu, a sinister voice had already sounded from behind him.

It was Gekko Hayate. Having witnessed the swift defeat of Kotetsu by Yu, this future special Jōnin from Konoha had silently appeared behind Yu.

Konoha Style: Dance of the Sun and Moon!!

Seeing the inexplicable abilities of the white-haired child in front of him, Gekko Hayate's ninja blade was unsheathed in an instant, and it transformed into a sharp cold light in the air as it slashed towards Yu.

This was a technique from Konoha's Sword Style that incorporated the killing move of a samurai's Iaido.

Although it hadn't reached the level of using Shadow Clone Jutsu to perform the Dance of the Sun and Moon like in the original story, the fact that Gekko Hayate could execute such a powerful Konoha Sword Style at the Ninja Academy demonstrated his formidable strength and talent.

"Is he already approaching the level of a Chunin...?"

Seeing Gekko Hayate, who had silently approached from behind and was displaying such a formidable Konoha Sword Style, Yu maintained his calm expression. Activating the power of the String Fruit within him, he effortlessly blocked Gekko Hayate's razor-sharp ninja blade with a quick wave of his hand.

Clang!!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of metal colliding, Gekko Hayate's eyes widened in shock.

"A string?!"

"He... actually blocked it with a string?!"

Yu, who stood in front of Gekko Hayate, had already created an extremely fine thread on his hand that tightly resisted Gekko Hayate's incredibly sharp ninja blade.

"Your movements... are too slow!"

After using the string he created to block Gekko Hayate's slashing attack, Yu's amber-clear eyes suddenly emitted a fierce gleam.

Uh-oh!

Realizing the radiant light emanating from Yu's eyes, Gekko Hayate's heart was filled with alarm. But his body, like it was encased in cement, couldn't react in time.

"Leaf Whirlwind!!"

Yu, who stood in front of Gekko Hayate, let out a light shout.

His body instantly sank, and his raised right leg forcefully sent a fierce gust of wind through the air!
